I Have A Noticeable Cut/tear Near The Urethral Opening On

I have a noticeable cut/tear near the urethral opening on the Glans (head) of my Penis and the wound opens up into a 0.3mm gap, if I forcefully widen it.

It has been 8 days (counting today) since the injury but the wound keeps opening up and does not seem to want to close even after I apply Polysporin to it. How long will it take for this to heal and would I need to get stitches?
